PRESENT: PESCE, P.J., WESTON and RIOS, JJ

The order denied tenant's motion to vacate a stipulation of settlement in a holdover summary proceeding.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs.

During the course of a non-jury trial held on November 4, 2010 in this nuisance holdover proceeding, tenant requested that the matter be settled and, with the advice of counsel, entered into a "so-ordered" stipulation of settlement wherein he agreed to, among other things, voluntarily vacate the premises and surrender the keys to landlord no later than February 28, 2011, thereby terminating his rent-stabilized tenancy of 28 years. Tenant thereafter moved to vacate the stipulation of settlement, arguing, among other things, that the seven-day notice to terminate was defective. The Civil Court denied the motion.
